Harmony
I don't see Ariella all day, so I text her as I leave out of class.
Me: Where are you?
Ella: Busy with Elder stuff. I've used magic to complete my exams. You'll pass with flying colours, too, BTW.
Damn, I wonder what it's like to never have any surprises anymore.
Me: LOL thanks for letting me know.
I pull up my hood as I step outside. It's not too cold; least not as cold as it has been.
Ella: How are things with your Boo?
Me: Good. But I'm sure your nosy ass knows that already.
Ella: I do. It's still polite to ask, though. When is he gonna meet Dad?
Me: He hasn't said anything yet. Why are you asking me questions you already know the answer to?
She sends a laughing emoji. I don't have all the answers, not yet.
Me: Sure, bihhh.
Ella: Rude.
Me: I know. Love you. Talk soon.
Ella: Love you, too.
I sense Jaheim in the parking lot and feel butterflies swarm my stomach the closer I get to him. I've missed him loads. The exams I sat today were easy as fuck, too, which is shocking because last week I couldn't even think.
Thank fuck I went to see Carisse...
“Hello, Beautiful,” Jaheim says when I get in the car. He's wearing a suit and had a haircut, but he hasn’t had too much taken off, and I’m glad. My pussy flutters like fuck cuz he is fine, fine, fine.
“Hey, Boo.”
We smile at each other, but then I’m pulled against him and he's abusing the hell out of my mouth. He's so damn rough with me, too, which makes several parts of me tingle like crazy. That shit is a turn on like nothing else, and I moan and gasp repeatedly into his mouth, inhaling his scent while he literally fucks mine.
I'm pretty sure this is a ‘I missed you’ kiss.
He finally releases me, and I have to take a second to catch my breath. “Wow, well that was a greeting if there ever was one.”
He gives me the look like he wants to beat my ass. “I missed you.”
My heart flutters. “I missed you, too, sexy.” Hell, I bet his dick is raging in those suit pants, cuz my pussy is all the way gushing. I scoot back over to the passenger seat before I give him head in this parking lot. “So, did you pick a car?”
He smiles as he starts mine. “I did. It should be ready next week.”
“And what did you decide on?”
He drives us out of the parking lot. “Well, I liked driving this so much, I got myself one.”
“She's amazing, ain’t she?”
“She is. I got the sport version. In orange and black.”
“Damn, I bet that's gonna look sick. I can't wait to see it.”
“Yeah, well, I don't want you being without a car, so if I need to go anywhere, I'll just use this in the evenings or catch an Uber.”
“Nah, I kinda like being driven. And the thought of my older boyfriend picking me up from school kinda turns me on. I might even pretend you’re my Uber driver tomorrow.”
He gives me a quick glance. “You into roleplay, Princess?”
I smile at him. “I’m into everything.”
He adjusts his dick in his pants. “That’s good to know.” He looks thoughtful for a moment before snapping out of it. “You excited to see this land?”
“Yeah. I tried looking it up on Google Earth but gave up. If I know Dad, though, I know it's gonna be perfect.”
“It's three hundred acres and has its own lake. Telling from the pictures, it has a little wooden cabin built somewhere in the woodland but no main house or anything.”
“Acres mean absolutely nothing to me.”
He chuckles. “It's big.”
“Good. I like big things.”
He gives me a quick look. “I know.”
My excitement reaches its peak as we arrive at the turning to our potential new home, and then the further we travel along its private road, the more blown away I become.
It’s like a secret garden.
Jaheim drives us through a vast forest, past a huge lake, over a little stream, and then into a little opening up on a hill that gives a beautiful view of the entire land. I didn't realise this plot was gonna be quite so big; there’s enough land here to build tens of houses, and it’s perfect for what we need.
Jaheim can hunt when he wants without worrying about being seen by anyone, we can swim in the lake in the warmer months, and there’s more than enough room for any size house we decide to build. I’m in love with it, and I can tell Jaheim feels the same. I’ve seen his eyes lightening to yellow at various points along the way.
We get out the car and look down at the lake. It’s so peaceful here; the only things I can hear are the wildlife and trickle of water from the stream to the right.
“So, what do you think?”
I push my hood back so I can look up at Jaheim properly. “I love it. What about you?”
He returns his gaze back over to the lake. “I think it's perfect.”
I nod. “I agree. So should I tell my Dad it's a go?”
He shakes his head. “No.”
I frown. “But I thought you liked it?”
“I do.” He turns to face me. “But I'm gonna buy it. I've already had the paperwork drawn up.” He retrieves a piece of paper from the back of the car and then returns to hand it to me.
I still forget how quick wares can move.
“That's the piece of paper you need to concern yourself with...”
I zone him out as I scan the single sheet of paper.
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
Purchasers: Mr Jaheim King and Ms Harmony James
Vendor: Weber Homesteads
Purchase price shall be one million, four hundred and ninety-six thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven dollars…
He's already signed above his name.
I look up to see him holding out a pen to me. “You like it, right?”
“Uh, yeah.” I’m still in shock.
“And you're mine now, right?”
I smile at his use of ‘mine’. “Yeah.”
He waves the pen a little. “Then why you hesitating?”
“I'm not.”
He offers me the pen again, and this time, I take it. “So hurry up. Then we can get to the fun part and decide where we’re gonna build our first home.”
That gives my eyelashes whiplash. “Our first home, yeah?”
He nods, his amber eyes lightening to yellow again. “I've always wanted to build my own house...” He looks around us. “This is a good a place as any to build the first one.”
I glance the paperwork again. “I don't want you paying for it on your own, though. Dad was meant to buy this. We can at least go halves if you feel a way about it.”
He rolls his eyes as he returns his attention to me. “If it’s just you and me from now on, what I have is ours now.” He smirks. “Anyway I've marked you, so it's not like you’re going anywhere, is it?”
That makes me smile, but I'm still unsure. “No, but you don't need to do this.”
“What's the problem? It's in your name, too. You said yourself there isn't gonna be anyone else for either of us.”
“There isn't.”
“Well then. And I'm sure you'll wanna decorate it with shit. You'll have plenty of chances to spend your money if you're so desperate to.”
“It's not that... I just... I know how new all this shit is for you. I don't want you to feel—”
“I know exactly how I feel.” His eyes suddenly darken. “I know how you feel, too. So just sign the fucking paper before you catch cold out here.”
I blink. “Are you giving me orders again?”
I can see he wants to smile. “Sign the paper, Princess.”
“Or what?”
He narrows his eyes. “I'll make you.”
“How?”
“Harmony...”
“Alright, calm down. I'll sign it...” I lean on the hood of my car to scribble my signature. “...but I still wanna know what would’ve happened if I didn’t.”
I hand him the paper, but he grabs me and kisses me furiously before he takes it from me. “Oh, Princess, it will be my pleasure to show you.”

We just make it to Weber Homesteads to finalise the purchase of the land before they close. I can't get over the fact we own something together already. Shit has really made things between us feel hella serious now. Not that they didn’t before, but now I know for certain that Jaheim feels the same way about us as I do.
Cuz only a man in love would do the shit he pulled today.
“How are you feeling about everything, Boo?” I ask when we get in the car.
“Good.”
“And have you thought anymore about when you'll meet the rest of my family?”
He starts the car. “Soon.”
I nod but wonder what's going on in that mind of his. We’re together and he seems happy, though, so I suppose that's all that matters at the moment.
We have time for all the serious.
I pull out my phone so I can text Dad.
Me: How's mom? Any sign of my brother or sister cooking yet?
Dad: No milk cravings yet, Baby. What's going on with the land? Did you like it?
Me: We loved it. I had no idea it was so big! Jaheim bought it for us. We just left Weber’s.
He types for a while. We had a feeling he would when he asked for the details. Sounds like things are going as they should between you both.
Me: Yeah, they’re going really well.
Dad: Alright, good. When you gonna start building?
Me: Soon, I think.
Dad: Ok. If either of you need anything then let us know. Depending on how quickly you want the house planned and built, we can get the same team in that did Ariella’s place.
Me: I’ll talk to Jaheim about it and let you know. Tell Mom I said hey. Love you both.
Dad: We love you, too.
We eat at Le Club Chasse Et Peche before getting home around eight. We make each other cum in the shower and then afterwards, Jaheim lotions my body and his.
He’s definitely becoming more hands on with me, and although I’m still desperate for him to fuck me, he’s still all the way satisfying me sexually. I’m enjoying this softer side of him that I’m seeing, too. He’s learning restraint with his touch, but he’s also opening up to me more, and I can see the changes in him as the days pass because he’s finally able to be himself.
That shit is a fucking turn on.
I admire his firm back and shoulders as I tie up my hair. “I need to study for an hour, but it's hard to concentrate when you're looking so damn fine like that. I almost wanna make you put on more clothes, even though I’d prefer it if you didn’t wear any.”
He turns away from the dresser to face me. He gives me a once over, too. “I don't usually wear clothes at home.”
I frown. “So why are you?”
He’s quickly in front of me with his hand around my waist. Then he strokes the bare skin along my hip, causing my breath to hitch. “Cuz I don't want any accidents.”
I stare up at him. “Would it be that bad if there was?”
“Hopefully not for much longer.” He spins me around and then slaps my ass before steering me out of the bedroom. “Study. Then I can give you your punishment.”
I turn around to slowly walk backwards, feeling a slight heat where he spanked me. “Will I be getting more of that?”
His eyes darken while sweeping over my body. “Just get your work done, Princess. Then you’ll find out.”
